Politics, Religions and Drug Busts.
As I have been growing up, I have been slowly realized how backward kuwait has been becoming. Besides the slow implentation of technology. Alcahol used to be legal in kuwait, and I'm sure at some point Marijuana was as it was in Bahrain in the 60's or 70's. But however slowly, we begin to see more laws that invade our personal lives. More laws that violate freedom and liberty. Religious fundamentalists taking over parliamant, attempting to ban music, Tabtabai (Tab-Ta-Ba-e) bieng insulted that a woman may have seated in the same chair he is sitting being pure disgust. Saying "Imagine what thoughts would cross your mind sitting in a chair a woman sat? " What kind of sick perverted bastard thinks that.. Not even a rapist! However, you see him many times at airports abroad, or at the beaches where nudists are accepted. Is he using religion to gain poppularity and win the followers voteS? He's merely a politician. Bieng a politician. As always. We see Drug laws bieng strenthened. Every day a new drug bust, more often than not on mere buyers or users, who in the end have to spend up to 4 or more years in prison. Ever Heard of Cruel and unequal punishment. It doesnt end there. I have seen it through my eyes. Men bieng beaten nearly to death, many a time, children, in order to interogate. Even if you are trully innocent. Sometimes, even woman. I have seen men, violated, tied together in groups by barbed wire, and then blindfolded and beaten again. Moved into the desert to withstand the heats, Hash kills braincells but worse i would believe is being beaten and in the sun.. What is more harmful? It isnt about right or wrong..its politics. All arab countries have thses disgusting torturistic methods, however, when the americans did half of what is done here.. Every arab govt, in awe and shock. .Whatever!! Want to talk about rights? Many a time and even know on video I have seen indians abused in public. Beaten for no reason by Men of Authority. COPS. What is happening to this country? I not only see it here. Even in the states. Little by little you begin to see peoples rights being taken away. Why? are we returning back to the medieval periods of fuedal lords and there loyal servents. Where fuedal lords now bieng countries, would have utter control of there people. Where only the lords would count and interect through politics. Why are drugs banned? Personal harm..no, dont think so. Its because it could lower the economy. Everyone could get lazy. Bad drugs could kill, and lower productivity and effeciency. In the economic war, a country would lose if it had succumb to drugs. For instance the Chinese Opium War? When britian would buy opium from india smugle it into China and sell it for only silver, in order to get silver out of china because the chinese refused. And all this, POLITICS, at the risk of people. 70% of U.S. jails are filled with marijuana cases. Marijuana a drug that is proved to be less harmful than alcohol. A non addictive drug. Yea sure it kills brain cells, just like any sport, action you do, or movement. You always lose braincells. All nations do is worry, fear the other, antagonize or attack one another. Everyone member of government should smoke a joint, take some Ecstasy.. and the whole world would be fun and loving. Yes, I am getting way ahead, but you do see my points. What can we do to change this? are we merely pawns?
